How was the installation process any splicing required?
I left the oem horns in tact but I did cut the green wire on one of those oem horns to splice into it. That said the oem horns are still in tact and work as they did before... just now with two additional horns that are loud as hell lol.

Honestly as far as difficulty I cant say... I have background in cable making and electronics so this was pretty easy for me.

Wait, you’re using oem horns in conjunction with the hella horns?? Why not just the hella horns? And also, how much power are you drawing with the hella horns?

How are you removing the fog insert without removing the entire bumper?
I followed this video I found on another thread. The first time you do it like this it's tough to take out. After that first time you "break the seal" it comes off pretty easily

Correct i am using all the horns, I figure why not use them all? Power is hard to say as I used the included relay. All the oem horn provides to the hella horns is a power signal to the relay to turn the hella horns on when you hit the horn. The relay has it's own ground... the hellas have their own ground and the relay is connected to the battery for power. The hellas are connected to the relay for power. Here is a diagram.

Did some amateur vinyl wrapping; my skills are terrible but the gloss carbon vinyl looks great in person. You can see a before/after comparison in one pic

I personally had a meh experience with VViVid vinyl. Granted, it was a 2" wide roll of red carbon fiber pinstripe, but still, put a bad taste in my mouth after that experience. Shit faded to pink after 2 weeks, then they changed the amazon listing to say "for interior use only". They were quick to refund me though, so I guess that's something. I'll be sticking with 3M 1080 for everything on mine from here on out

That gloss carbon fiber looks good though. I personally went with the dry carbon look for everything you posted up

I like that haha 3 horns. I would do it too but I have no experience in working anything lol. Would you say it can be easily done by anyone with instructions?

Technically its 4 horns as oem is dual horns as is the hella sharptones. So its 2x2. It's worth the upgrade. A lot of people just replace the oem ones and mount them in the oem location. I wanted a little more though haha.

I'm wanting to do just this panel. Is there a way to pop it out to wrap around, or did you have to cut a piece to fit as best you could? I watched a video on shifter disassembly which made it look like one piece, including the leather boot.
